The Betfair Sprint Cup Day will take place on Saturday, 5 September, closing the 3-day Sprint Cup Festival 2026. The culmination of the day is the Haydock Sprint Cup that headlines the day and the entire event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Haydock Sprint Cup is a Group 1 flat horse race that accepts both male and female horses aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres). It was established in 1966 and received its Group 1 status in 1988.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article we will review the list of runners in this season\u2019s race, take a look at the race card, and get an insight into major runners and market\u2019s favourites to compete in the race.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_js el_class=&#8221;banner-highlight&#8221;]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMnRleHQlMkZqYXZhc2NyaXB0JTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZqcy43YmV0LnBhcnRuZXJzJTJGamF2YXNjcmlwdC5waHAlM0ZwcmVmaXglM0RnMHRwcEFNSVpFbWh2bzVuQzN0WlEyTmQ3WmdxZFJMayUyNmFtcCUzQm1lZGlhJTNENDM1JTI2YW1wJTNCY2FtcGFpZ24lM0Q0MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_js][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Haydock Sprint Cup 2026 Runners<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As one of the most prestigious flat races in the United Kingdom and the headline race of the Sprint Cup Festival, Haydock Sprint Cup attracts some of the top sprinters who will be led on the tracks by the most skilled jockeys. The current prize purse is \u00a3400,000. Participation in the Haydock Sprint Cup doesn\u2019t have an upper age limit, so any runner has a chance to enter the race multiple times for an attempt to win or repeat its previous victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time of publication of this article, the list of runners declared to compete in this season\u2019s Haydock Sprint Cup consisted of 9 contenders.

Previously, he added another win to his record of the 2026 victories, when he finished first in the British Stallion Studs EBF Cathedral Stakes (Salisbury, May 2026). He was also viewed as one of the strongest contenders for the Newmarket July Cup 2026 (Newmarket Racecourse, July 2026, winner Comanche Brave). Even though he finished ninth out of eleven, experts and bookmakers still see him as one of the strongest favourites for this race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will be the first time William Haggas\u2019s charge, who debuted in 2024, appears on the tracks of the Haydock Park Racecourse. His past achievements include the Fergie &amp; Myra Happel Ayr Gold Cup Trial Handicap (Ayr Racecourse, July 2025) and the British EBF Novice Stakes (Yarmouth Racecourse, October 2024).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Coppull<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay colt<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Clive Cox<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4 out of 9 wins, including Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes (August 2026) and Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes (May 2026)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recent form:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1 &#8211; 4 &#8211; 8 &#8211; 1 &#8211; 3<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coppull may have only debuted last season, but he has already shown outstanding form in these two years. He started the 2026 season by winning the Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes at the Ascot Racecourse in May. He returned to the racecourse during the Royal Ascot week to compete in the Commonwealth Cup but finished in the eighth place. However, his win in the Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes at the Newbury Racecourse in August catapulted him into the top favourite contenders for the Haydock Sprint Cup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his debut year, Clive Cox\u2019s charge won two out of the five races he took part in. Beginning with his maiden race Juddmonte British EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes at the Leicester Racecourse in April 2025, where he finished first among 15 runners, to Markel Richmond Stakes during the Qatar Goodwood Festival in July 2025, he showed excellent form. His appearance at the Haydock Park Racecourse will be the first in his career.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Big Mojo<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay colt<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Michael Appleby<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4 out of 16 wins, including FBD Hotels And Resorts Phoenix Sprint Stakes (August 2026) and Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes (September 2025)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recent form:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1 &#8211; 10 &#8211; 8 &#8211; 7 &#8211; 10<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two things play into Big Mojo\u2019s placement among the favourites of the current edition of the Haydock Sprint Cup. The first one is his status as the returning champion. In September 2025, he came to the finish line first among 17 runners, and experts together with bookmakers consider it very possible that he will repeat his success. While his start of the 2026 season wasn\u2019t particularly successful, including the King Charles III Stakes during Royal Ascot where he finished eighth, he won his most recent race of FBD Hotels And Resorts Phoenix Sprint Stakes in August 2026 at the Curragh Racecourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides his spectacular victory at the last year\u2019s Sprint Cup, Michael Appleby\u2019s charge has appeared at the Haydock Park Racecourse one other time. In May 2025, he took part in the Betfred Sandy Lane Stakes but came to finish fourth after the winner Symbol Of Honour. His earlier wins include eventmasters.co.uk Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes at the Ascot Racecourse in April 2025 and Jaeger-Lecoultre Molecomb Stakes at the Goodwood Racecourse in July 2024.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Kind Of Blue<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay horse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> James Fanshawe<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3 out of 14 wins, including Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes (October 2024) and Yates Drywall Limited Novice Stakes (May 2024)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recent form:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 11 &#8211; 2 &#8211; 11 -2 &#8211; 3<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to Kind Of Blue, it is his previous appearances at the Haydock Sprint Cup that suggest him as a very strong candidate for this year\u2019s top favourites. He has appeared at the tracks of the race both in his debut season of 2024 and later in 2025. Both times he came to the finish line second behind Montassib and Big Mojo correspondingly. Experts believe that he has all the chances for a breakthrough this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the beginning of the 2026 season, James Fanshawe\u2019s charge has participated in two races. His highest result was a second place in the Go Local Stores Minster Stakes in May 2026 at the York Racecourse. While his second place in the Haydock Sprint Cup in September 2025 was the peak of the season, he added three wins to his credit in his debut season of 2024: his maiden race of Unibet More Boosts In More Races Novice Stakes at the Kempton Park Racecourse in April, Yates Drywall Limited Novice Stakes at the Doncaster Racecourse in May, and Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes at the Ascot Racecourse in October.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Marvelman<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay colt<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Andrew Balding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2 out of 14 wins, including Betfred Park Stakes (September 2025) and Racing TV Novice Stakes (March 2025)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recent form:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3 &#8211; 6 &#8211; 2 &#8211; 9 &#8211; 14<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marvelman may not have the highest winning tally so far, but his latest performance at the Sky Bet Ebor Festival brought him into the limelight. He participated in the Sky Bet City Of York Stakes at the York Racecourse in August 2026 and came third after the winner Notable Speech. He participated in three other races in the current season, with the highest result being the second place in the JenningsBet Chipchase Stakes in June at the Newcastle Racecourse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andrew Balding\u2019s charge started his racing career in 2024 and participated in three races in his debut season, winning two second places: British EBF Joan Snow Memorial Conditions Stakes at the Salisbury Racecourse and BetVictor Lengthen The Odds EBF Maiden Stakes at the Newbury Racecourse, both in October. Both his wins took place in the 2025 season: Betfred Park Stakes at the Doncaster Racecourse in September and Racing TV Novice Stakes at the Kempton Park Racecourse in March.
